Eliminating MDR-TB in China

In the past 5 years USAID has funded the Control and Prevention of Tuberculosis (CAP-TB) Project in China, Thailand and Myanmar with the aim of eliminating TB using a patient-centred, community driven, health system strengthening model. The project is led by FHI 360, the prime cooperating agency. Yunnan province in China has a particularly high prevalence of MDR-TB. The work done in collaboration with local government organizations shows how effective the three tiered approach can be.
